How large should a Flash drive been to transfer the files?2. Is it possible to check the Product ID to confirm it is still a useable file system?3. Will the destination HDD be erased when W10 is moved to it?TIA --

When in win10:

• Update&security -> Windows update -> Finding update... .... .... ....

Planning to download the latest Win10.ISO (vers.1803) and manually update:
- Then wait that my ordered new SSD arrives and clone the old HDD to it.

Hi Johan,

It is possible that your
HDD was unreadable
causing the error message to appear. We recommend that you perform these troubleshooting steps and check if there are any changes:

• 
  Shutdown
  your
  PC.
  
• 
  Unhooked
  the
  HDD
  and
  turn on
  your
  PC.
  
• 
  Reconnect
  your
  HDD
  and
  restart
  your
  PC.
  

If the issue persists, we suggest that you contact your
laptop/computer's manufacturer
for further assistance.

Update us on how it goes.

Regards.

 

Now Win10 is out have you gone back to 8 or older?

Nope, slowly upgrading my fleet to Windows 10 as the time comes to reformat each machine.

Assuming you are talking about Mint 17 you list in your specs, that isn't newer, that's still older than Win10.
